Professor Kathryn Cassidy
Kathryn Cassidy is Professor of Political Geography at Northumbria University. Her work explores the processes and practices of bordering contemporary societies and the ways in which these are being disrupted both through collective and mundane actions.
Her UK in a Changing Europe fellowship project analyses responses to the displacement of people from Ukraine in three countries – Poland, Romania, and the UK – and involves working with policymakers, third sector organisations, host communities, and refugees from Ukraine in each country. Such responses have engaged a range of debordering processes and practices, which have involved the removal of barriers to travel to and settle in countries across Europe. The project places these wide-ranging changes in comparative perspective.
